“I’m worried about moving into a care home.”
It’s a hesitation we hear often from families exploring care options for themselves or their loved ones who are yet to discover live-in care. For many, the idea of leaving their home—filled with memories, routines, and familiarity—feels daunting. It’s not just the practicalities of moving; it’s the emotional weight of leaving behind the life they’ve built.
The thought of moving into a care home often brings up questions like:
- Will I have to leave behind my familiar surroundings?
- What happens to my belongings, routines, and even my pets?
- Will I lose my independence?
But, things don’t have to change. There’s another way.
Live-in Care: The Personalised Alternative to a Care Home
Moving into a care home isn’t the only solution. At Agincare, we offer an alternative that allows you to stay in the place you love while receiving the care and support you need. With live-in care, you can remain in your home, maintaining your independence and routines with the added benefit of 24-hour care at home.
Live-in care is the perfect solution for anyone who needs support but doesn’t want to leave their home. A dedicated live-in carer moves in with you, providing round-the-clock support tailored to your needs.
This means:
Your independence is intact: Live the way you want with as much or as little help as you need.
Your routines stay the same: Wake up when you like, enjoy your favourite meals, and continue your hobbies.
Your home stays yours: Surrounded by the things you love and your cherished memories.
Meet Richard. He is a cherished live-in care client from Devon, and has found renewed independence and joy in his home with the support of his live-in carer.
Richard said:
“Having live-in carers has allowed me to regain a more independent way of life.
Their help and encouragement have enabled me to get up, move around my home, and, most importantly, return to my garden—a place where I can do what I love most: gardening and feeding the wildlife. Thanks to their support, I’ve been able to piece my life back together again.”
Benefits for Your Family
Live-in care not only transforms your life but also reassures your family.
With costs comparable to, or even lower than, care homes, it offers peace of mind with one-to-one support, reduces caregiving pressures, and allows for relaxed visits in a familiar setting. Best of all, you can keep your beloved pets by your side, ensuring your family enjoys normalcy without the stress of complex care arrangements.
What Most People Don’t Realise About Long-Term Care

At Agincare, we provide a full range of services, from live-in care to home care and nursing homes, ensuring you always have options that suit your needs.
You can even trial live-in care—if it’s not the right fit, we can seamlessly guide you to other solutions without the need for additional care assessments. Our live-in care assessment suites all care options, so there’s no pressure to commit upfront.
